  Uddrag af dagbogen til Oberst C. K. I. Christensen, Fellow ved Royal Society for Vildfarne Filmstudier, nedskrevet under hans ulyksalige ekspedition til det Afrikanske kontinent, sommeren 1898. Genfundet i maven paa en udstoppet hyæne paa Nationalmuseet i Nairobi. Side 2 - Landgang med tweed og tvivl Stormen fik bølgerne til at skrige som smaa børn, og havet bar lugten af forliste drømme. Vores dampskib blev slynget op paa Afrikas kyst som en døddrukken flodhest. Jeg vadede i land iført mit fineste tweed og et blik, der signalerede staalsat inkompetence. Ingen modtog mig. Kun en død ged og et skilt: “VELKOMMEN TIL AFRIKA – VI ANBEFALER HAT OG NERVEMEDICIN.”     Første observation: Afrika er uforholdsmæssigt varmt, uigennemskueligt og anerkender mestendels ikke gemen bordskik. Jeg udpegede derfor straks kontinentet som fjendtligt. Fire dage senere, et sted syd for Khartoum, var min hest død af varme og anger. Min sidste daase-pølse var fortæret, og kortet jeg havde købt i Antwerpen viste sig muligvis at være bagsiden af en vinmenu fra Holland-Amerika-linjen. Mit kompas snurrede som en gal tepotte. Jeg begyndte at gaa.     Side 16 - Under paraventen: En gentleman bekender sin angst Paa ottendedagen, et sted mellem et udtørret flodleje og min sidste pibe Capstan Navy Cut, hørte jeg stemmer. Ikke inde i hovedet denne gang – virkelige stemmer. Jeg fandt ham i skyggen af et akacietræ. Han kaldte sig Sonny, og tilbød mig et stykke tørret kød, som jeg senere opdagede var hans dagbog. Han førte mig til en teltlejr, hvor man var i færd med at bygge en jernbane. Jeg bemærkede straks fraværet af enhver form for sikkerhedsprotokol, samt det faktum at lejren havde et foruroligende misforhold mellem levende og døde arbejdere. Brølet kom ved skumring. To skabninger. Løver, ja, men med manér som mordere. De bevægede sig lydløst mellem teltene. Jeg naaede akkurat at høre en jæger, med krop som en whiskyflaske og en stemme af kogt læder, sige: “‘The Ghost and the Darkness' (1996).” Jeg flygtede gennem lejren, der stank af imperiel arrogance og løvepis, og gemte mig under en dynge kongolesiske paraventer, der var malet med scener fra et bedre liv. Da jeg kom til mig selv, laa en udstoppet løve ved min side og stirrede anklagende.     Side 29 - Min tid som fodnote i en andens metafor Jeg fandt min næste guide for foden af Spitzkoppe-bjerget i Damaraland, bappende paa et tibetansk bedelys. Eller var det en jernspurv? Jeg antog, det var en slags lokalt inhalationsritual. Det viste sig at være hans frokost. Hr. Ask Hasselbalch – en besnærende type med langt blik og kort lunte, der talte i taager og bar sin tropehjelm paa kunstnerisk sned. Han stirrede ind i solen, som skyldte den ham penge, og hviskede: “Dette er ikke en ørken. Dette er en allegori. Og du er en fodnote.” Jeg nikkede høfligt og forsøgte at fremstaa som en mand vant til at blive metaforisk degraderet. Før jeg kunne bede om mere haandgribelig vejledning, begyndte sandet at bevæge sig. En skikkelse formet af støv og sorg gled gennem landskabet med den selvsikkerhed, man normalt kun ser hos folk med eget vaabenskjold. Han samlede blaffere op. Ensomme sjæle. Og de forsvandt. Jeg vaagnede i et forladt tehus. Paa en serviet, mellem en kop dampende rooibos og en flue i koma, stod det skrevet: “‘Dust Devil' (1992)”. Jeg drak teen. Den smagte af symbolisme… og kardemomme.     Side 77 - På feltfod med Den Glødende Kossak (Notater fra fronten) Til sidst krydsede jeg en grænse (moralsk, forstås) og mødte Lord St. John-Paridon. En mand for hvem sort krudt var et krydderi. Han sagde ikke meget, men duftede svagt af kampvognsolie og propaganda. Uden varsel kastede han mig op i en hestekærre holdt sammen af patronhylstre og patriotisme og satte kursen durk mod flammehavet ‘Red Scorpion' (1988), hvor en højrøstet kossak ved navn Dolph Lundgren skinnede som en babyolieret obelisk midt i et opbrust hav af stridende indfødte. Jeg kastede op af respekt ved synet af Zarens glinsende barbar, som han stod der i modlyset fra den dræbende sol med vodka i aarerne og bly i blikket. Han udnævnte mig overraskende til feltpræst, og jeg døbte omgående en bærbar artillerifløjlskanon, mens officererne istemte med salmer, og en uralsk pansersavant forsøgte at forhandle med en hest. Vi passerede gennem kampzoner, hvor lastbiler eksploderede af stolthed og Dolphs anmasende viljestyrke fik selv baobabtræerne til at gribe til vaaben. En tank forsøgte at kapitulere, men blev omgaaende overtalt til at eksplodere i stedet. Jeg red bort paa trykbølgen, ud mod horisonten, som en gentleman paa en galopperende flaske Zanzibar-gin.      Kapitlet uden hvilket intet ville være muligt Jeg maa, med løvernes brøl endnu rungende i kraniet og en mild hjernebetændelse bag brillen, nedfælde min dybeste tak til jer – medlemmer af den hæderkronede Klub Moviebox. Jeres bidrag er som portvinen i mit glas: sød, klinisk nødvendig og til tider eksplosiv. Uden jeres rundhaandede støtte maatte jeg finansiere ekspeditionerne gennem ulovlige visninger af ‘Crocodile Dundee II' paa en opsprættet mulepose i det vestlige Zambia, eller bytte The Moviebox Collection-videoer mod myggenet og malaria-piller ved kontinentets mange uforudsigelige grænseposter. Det er jer, der gør det muligt for mig at bære tropehjelm med værdighed, og fortsætte disse svimlende cineastiske odysséer uden kompas, kort eller samvittighed, i jagten paa film, som kun vinden, Peter Peter og muligvis tordenguden Shango kender. Epilog Og saaledes slutter beretningen om vores prøvelser og pinsler paa det Afrikanske kontinent. En rejse med løver, dæmoner og eksploderende lastbiler. Hvad lærte vi? Maaske intet. Maaske alt. Men én ting staar klart: Jeg er vendt hjem med skrammer, visdom og tre nye VHS'er, som alle er dækket af sand og forbandelser. Spol altid episoden tilbage, naar De har lyttet færdigt. Med tropisk hilsen, Kaptajn Ask, Kommandør Sonny, Oberst Niels og Deres ydmyge rejsefører, C. K. I. Christensen, Esq.

Have you heard of the "GAAR"???  GAAR stands for the "general anti-avoidance rule" and it gives the federal government broad powers to prevent transactions they deem to be against the purposes of Canadian tax law.Why do we care about GAAR?  Well, it should be a factor to consider each and every time that you engage in tax planning, as if it applies, it can "undo" all of the tax benefits of a particular transaction.  The Federal Government also just pushed through amendments to the GAAR rules which broaden the applicability of GAAR, and also impose a penalty.So in this episode, I break down: "old" GAAR, "new" GAAR, and a recent case where GAAR was considered (DAC Investments).  I also reminisce about my days as a clerk at the Court of Appeal, and give a sneak peek of new episodes coming up in the next few months!RESOURCES DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEGAAR - Consultation PaperDAC Investment Holdings Inc. v.

Ahhh, vinyl records. For audiophiles and other assorted music nerds (know any of them!?!), it's the passport to sonic bliss. For others, it's an archaic, delicate, noisy and inconvenient medium. Whatever side of the fence you're on, there are albums that you gotta experience on vinyl - whether it be for the sound quality, the artwork, the liner notes, the overall presentation, or maybe it's not available digitally. Remarkably, decades after the format was declared all but dead and buried, it has experienced a huge resurgence in popularity. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the commercial vinyl LP, In The Groove: The Vinyl Record and Turntable Revolution from Motorbooks is an authoritative and visual celebration of the history and culture of record collecting and turntables, from the first 78 to the explosive growth of vinyl in the last decade, with entertaining sidebars highlighting classic record stores, legendary labels and iconic artwork. Designed to satisfy readers from the most discerning of collectors to those new to the passion, In The Groove gathers five of the finest music scribes to contribute a chapter each. One of those writers (covering record stores) is our Third Lad this week, Gillian Gaar. Gillian G. Gaar is a Seattle-based author.

Show Notes   In this episode of Entrepreneur Money Stories, we revisit Brandee Gaar, the founder of a thriving wedding planning business based in Orlando, Florida. With an impressive track record spanning sixteen years in the industry, Brandee has not only built a profitable business but has also become a dedicated coach to other wedding professionals. Her mission is clear: she wants to help others succeed while challenging the pervasive burnout culture that often plagues the wedding industry.   The Summit   The conversation takes place just after Brandee's annual Summit, an event she meticulously plans with thoughtfulness and intention. Initially starting her coaching online, Brandee found her true calling in in-person events, allowing participants to experience a sense of empowerment and embrace their roles as CEOs. Every aspect of the Summit is crafted to provide authenticity and realness to attendees, both during the sessions and outside of them. Brandee believes that gathering the right individuals in one room can spark transformative changes in their professional lives.   Tracking the Financial Side of Things   Brandee astutely manages her business, ensuring clear financial segregation among its various branches, such as wedding planning, the Summit, and coaching, all under the same LLC. This approach enables her to closely track the profitability of each segment individually. She emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the finer details, especially during less profitable years, and setting expense goals to complement sales targets, driving steady growth.   Looking into the Future   Despite the fear surrounding a possible recession, Brandee adamantly refuses to plan from a place of fear, dismissing it as an excuse for mediocrity. Instead, she advises professionals to focus on excellence, redouble their marketing efforts, and invest in personal and business growth. Even post-pandemic, when her company seemed to be coasting, Brandee recognized the opportune moment to push for growth and made concerted efforts to expand the business.   A strong advocate for investing in her team, Brandee believes in providing her employees with opportunities for growth. For instance, she invested in her social media manager by purchasing an SEO course, which will remain available to future team members in that role, enhancing their skills and contributing to the overall growth of the business. Money Mindset and the Financial Aspect   A major decision Brandee made recently was moving the Summit from Orlando to Austin, TX. This shift was a strategic one, calculated to foster a 20% growth in that region by centralizing the event. Drawing from past attendance data and comprehensive planning for best and worst-case scenarios, Brandee confidently took the leap, recognizing the potential for success in this bold move.   Advice for the Fearful Business Owner   Brandee's insights resonate deeply with entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of thoughtfulness in managing one's business, resisting conformity, and identifying and addressing the gaps that hinder growth. Her approach exemplifies how investing in essential areas and shedding weaknesses can lead to business expansion and overall success.   In conclusion, this enlightening episode with Brandee Gaar is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating the wedding planning industry or seeking entrepreneurial inspiration. Her remarkable journey, coupled with her passion for uplifting others, serves as a guiding beacon for entrepreneurs striving to thrive in competitive markets while avoiding burnout. Listeners are left with invaluable takeaways on building profitable businesses, fostering authenticity, and nurturing a strong team to achieve their goals.   Key Points  [04:48] The Summit  [09:28] Tracking the financial side of things  [17:18] Looking into the future  [24:34] Money mindset and the financial aspects [32:43] Advice for the fearful business owner    Connect with Danielle: Website | Kickstart Accounting Facebook | Kickstart Accounting Inc.  Get Started Today:  https://kickstartaccountinginc.com/get-started/   Connect with Brandee: Website | https://brandeegaar.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/ Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwii0TlcCz7Cfy5Han-RPYg?view_as=subscriber

READ THIS    In the age that we're living in with pricing going all over the place, Brandee shared that one of the most IMPORTANT things wedding planners can do is be in touch with your industry! Stay in communication with your vendors & get a grip on what they are dealing with so you fully understand any price increases that might arise. For your clients, one of the biggest benefits to using a wedding planner is your advice and expertise. They are hiring you because you have a pulse on the industry, know what is happening, and can be a great negotiator for both sides.    Advocate well for your partners and advocate well for your clients so that you can come to a beneficial, win-win agreement. With happy parties on both sides, your business will naturally grow.  MORE FROM THIS EPISODE Press play on Episode #133 and you'll learn:   How to avoid the legal, sticky situations that are common in the wedding planning industry (especially with inflation driving up costs).  Must-have clauses ALL wedding planners should have in their legal contracts.  How to ensure you still get paid even if your client cancels last-minute.  The reason “production schedules” will save you from getting burned as a wedding planner.  The differences between “day-of coordination” and “full-service planning” and how to make sure you don't get in over your head.    You'll QUICKLY find from listening to Brandee's experiences that it's important to have a legally legit foundation backing you when you run a wedding planning business. With The Legal Paige's Wedding Contract, you'll be covered for any situation.
